Mark has a mystic mind-control power; it's his birthright, passed down for hundreds of generations. All he needs is someone's attention, and he can control their mind. Different people have used it in different ways, but the basic rule is that he has to make eye contact when someone is looking at him, and they can't disobey his orders. Mark's way of using this is to go out to some club or whatever, and fool around. Breakdancing, dancing on tables, even sometimes being a pervert with wandering hands in a small group. Because all he needs to do is get someone's attention, and he can give them commands.

The power is passed down in the family. There are other families around the world with similar things, and something of a secret war between them. That's what his dad died of, because once Mark had the power, his father couldn't use it any more, and he'd made enough enemies in his life that it was hard to protect himself.

One night he's particularly on form, doing a breakdancing routine at a club, and manages to take three stunning girls home with him. But something isn't quite right, and he can't put his finger on it.

Next day he gets stopped for speeding. Tells the cop to not give him a ticket, and strip for him instead. He's sure he's got her attention, but it just doesn't work. He ends up getting dragged back to a police cell, where he finds another example to prove that his power is no longer working. He talks to the wise old butler/servant who kind of doubles as the family's expert on mystic matters. And he says that Mark doesn't have the power anymore; it passes on to his son at the moment of conception. So now this guy is trying to work out what to do. Without that power, he might suffer the same fate as his father. And he can only rely on his son's innate talents to protect him if the son is actually around. Which would mean finding those women again, and hoping that the command to forget all about him didn't really stick.
